On the contrary, he was a father, and I know his children will miss him. That's how I'm looking at it because I a father too.
And every time I go to work, I think about my 4 year old and wonder will she understand if I don't come home. He lost his brave battle, but his vision will live on on the tech he developed from mice to track pads, to pinch and zoom that everyone uses, regardless if it is iOS or Android.
He had a family and they will truly miss him....

P.S. I am not a Fan boi....
But death does stalk us all.....
